Get ready: Next year marks the fifth anniversary of Child’s Play. “Wait, what? Five years? That movie came out in the ’80s!” Right, but we’re talking about the remake that came and went in the Summer of 2019. Don’t remember that one? Good news, the Halloweenies do, and they’re covering it today as part of their ensuing, year-long crawl through Don Mancini’s still-running franchise over at Universal. To bide the time until the rest of Chucky Season 3 arrives, you can join the gang as they shed a light on...

From its autumnal aesthetic to its haunted history, Massachusetts is always a great place to spend the Halloween season, but horror fans were particularly spoiled this year. In addition to the usual festivities in Salem and repertory programming at Boston theaters, we had no less than four horror conventions throughout the state in the span of two months: Silver Scream Con, Terror Con, MonstahXpo, and Hometown Haunts & Hops. Many convention memories are made in hotel bars, so why not set one in a brewery? The inaugural Hometown Haunts &...

I missed the boat on the first Ghostrunner at launch. It wasn’t until earlier this year as I was working through my extensive backlog that I discovered the absolute thrill of wallrunning at high speeds while deflecting bullets in an ultra slick cyberpunk setting; it’s as satisfying as it sounds. The first Ghostrunner filled a void left by games such as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater with its addictive skill-based gameplay. Though I felt at times that the cyberpunk setting and inconsequential story brought the entire experience down. So I went...

Quantum Error is one of the most baffling games I’ve played this year. On one hand it’s very impressive that a dev team of only four people managed to deliver a game of this scale, on the other it has so many design flaws and technical issues that I found myself wondering if this game was even QA tested. Seriously, Quantum Error is such a frustrating experience from top to bottom that I’m having trouble putting into words how highly I cannot recommend it. Even from a curiosity point of...
